I had never been to Avoriaz or the impressive Portes du Soleil ski area and my expectations were not left wanting. The skiing is vast and varied. I found many challenging red and black runs and the off piste skiing is up there with the best in Europe — tree line skiing anyone? Avoriaz is also home to the world famous 'Stash' snow park!

For those that like to take a more leisurely pace, you can glide from valley to valley with relative ease using the quick and extensive lift system that spans from Les Gets, France to Champery, Switzerland. If you fancy a substantial meal or light refreshment en route, there are an unbelievable amount of quaint mountain restaurants & bars dotted around the place and the prices are reasonable. Avoriaz is smack in the middle of all the action so I have no qualms about recommending the resort.

The night life gets better towards the weekend but you do have the neighbouring resort of Morzine you could visit for more testing après skiing. Morzine is lower in altitude so your best bet is to stay high and central so you can get to wherever you want at a breeze. Avoriaz is the place to be.

Review 27/04/2011

I had forgotten just how good the Portes du Soleil area is! What an amazing ski area, with such a variety of terrain and spectacular scenery! Club Med is ideally located at the top end of town and easy to ski in and ski out off! All the staff were great and made us feel really welcome. Food was fantastic as always, loved the raclette and fondue but now need to go on a diet! Making our own mojitos on the sun terrace was a great way to round of a hard day on the hill!

For a great lunch spot, head to 'Les Fermes des Pistes' on the Linga run and you will be welcomed royally by Rocky the dog, especially if you order cheese!

Another good week in Avoriaz 27/01/2015

My party of 18 mixed sex and ages have just returned from another fantastic week at Club Med in Avoriaz. This is the 2nd time we have used Club Med and it is without a doubt the best package around being all inclusive, ( apart from ski equipment).
I have visited this resort many times and tried all types of accommodation but this is without a doubt the best. The staff are very friendly and always pleased to help.
Down side is Club Med office staff are not the best company to deal with be patient the effort is well worth it. Also some of the French guests could do with a lesson in manners but this seems to be the norm whether you are French or English.

Apres Ski: 4/5

Clubmed Avoriaz 25/02/2015

clubmed never disappoints. Friendly staff, great ski in ski out, wonderful food. Excellent all round sking package. Rooms small and functional, so don't expect luxury, but you're not going for a week indoors are you?

club med rose above expectations 19/02/2015

Can't fault the amazing quality and abundance of food, fantastic service with helpful and smiling staff (apart from the curt teenager in the boot room ski service!), and value for money.
Didn't really experience the apres ski at the club med as this tends to be a family affair and we were a group of friends with no children so we tended to go out into Avoriaz town. Its typically french, slightly cheesy entertainment but am sure the kids enjoy it. Avoriaz town had a decent selection of bars and cafes and restaurants. Skiing wise is some of the best skiing I've ever done! Will definitely return and recommend club med to anyone. The rooms are a bit small yes, but you don't go skiing to spend time in your bedroom.
